GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES – simple 5-ingredient recipe that is so delicious that you will have to resist hard not to eat the entire batch. And well, if you do devour every last cookie that’s okay it only makes about 18.

I first published this recipe back in 2014 and the first few following I made these at least once a week. I became a peanut butter cookie addict. These honestly are better than the traditional peanut butter cookies made with flour. They are chewy, crisp on the outside and the peanut butter really shines.

My family loves peanut butter, well my daughter Jersey has a love hate relationship with it. She won’t eat it plain or on a sandwich but “with sugar” (her words) she’ll eat it. {LOL!}

My favorite easy and to-go-to breakfast is peanut butter and jelly toast with bananas. I sometimes eat this for dinner too. My second favorite peanut butter recipe is my Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce it is to die for! I have to be careful when I make that recipe that there are others around or I may drink the entire batch.

Let’s get back to these Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies – they are so easy, simple and scrumptious. You need to make these, so let’s get that on your calendar right now and then you can come back and thank me later. Enjoy friends! XOXO San

1 tablespoon sugar, to sprinkle cookies with or ¼ cup sugar, to roll dough in (OPTIONAL)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all peanut butter, brown sugar, egg (beaten), baking powder and vanilla until well blended. It will look creamy, smooth and glossy. You should not be able to see any egg throughout the batter.

Using a cookie dough scooper, scoop the dough and then roll it in the ¼ cup of sugar until coated. Place dough on the cookie, you may use a fork at this time to make the traditional hatch pattern on top of the cookie. I didn’t do this. Bake 10-12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you use Adams All Natural Peanut Butter! It is an obsession in this house! No other PB is allowed, unless it is natural Dark Chocolate peanut butter. lol. Now I have to try this recipe. It looks amazing.
